Esoteric Words


One of the biggest problems in understanding the Alice A. Bailey writings is the strange vocabulary. For a first time reader sitting down to enjoy the writings this can seem like an overwhelming obstacle. At first they seem more complex than understanding a medical journal.

I am therefore initiating a new project that will probably last for years and that is going through DK's writings and perhaps some others and finding, defining and hopefully understanding certain words. We'll then take the best of the definitions and eventually compile our own dictionary.
